Q:I've been reading reviews about vacuum cleaners and seemed to sum it all up pretty good about this one.. anybody got experience with the hoover tempo widepath?

Check out Masons they are experts on vacuum cleaners...

Q:Dogs, toddlers, or women?

Toddlers. When my younger brother was a toddler(he's now 8), my older brother would tell him that the vacuum was going to suck his brains out and he was terrified. It took a few years for him to get over it. I now have a 1.5 yr old sister and she too is afraid of the vacuum, although she hasn't been told about it's brain-sucking powers. I can't remember any of us other kids being afraid, but we might have been. I've never met or heard of a dog who was afraid of the vacuum, though.

Q:Vacuum Cleaners...please tell me the BEST one out there?!?!?!?

Most okorder /... It's been my experience that the more expensive vacuums don't last any longer than the cheap ones (about 2 years) so these are the ones I buy.

Q:anyone own a kenmore progressive vacuum cleaner!? I am in the market for a really great vacuum, at a resonable price, (unlike dyson's)! i have read good and bad reviews on the progressive! I have a black lab and I need a great vaccum to get up all that dog hair! Please let me know what you think and also what kind of progressive you have! THANK YOU!

Why are you asking this under the category of DOGS? Sorry, I was reading your question too fast and didn't notice that you own a black lab, therefore asking your question in the DOGS category!

Q:I have been looking for homes to buy and I have never heard of this before. I am geussing that it is a vacuum that is centrally located in the house...not sure. Is that just stupid? Anyways, would really like to know. Thanks

Central Vacuuming is located within the walls of the home, with outlets you would plug a hose into located in each room.

Q:for the cordless onesTHanks!:)

Old vac's like the BD Dustbuster (which I have) use Nickel Cadmium cells. Not sure about new models but NiCd's are cheaper than newer alternative NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride).

Q:My cat runs away from the vacuum cleaner whether it is off or on. Why is that?

Your cat isn't simply afraid of the vacuum cleaner. If she had never heard it in action she'd have never developed her fear of it. It is the noise. The noise is probably very unpleasant to a cat plus it may sound to her like some horrible roaring creature. Cats get used to other noisy appliances in homes but there is a difference. The ones they get used to like coffee grinders, garbage disposals, blow dryers etc are used frequently so the cat gets used to it. And the appliance making the noise in those instances isn't a big thing that moves around. Most people only vacuum once a week plus it is a big thing that moves around. So the cat doesn't hear it often enough to lose its fear of the sound let alone get used to the added scariness of it seeming like a big animal. Btw, some cats are not bothered by the vacuum. Amongst other things, I clean other peoples' homes and have met a few cats with a ho-hum attitude about vacuum cleaners. My own three are not exactly terrified but they do stay on the safe side by scurrying off to another room when I turn the vacuum on.

Q:anyone know of a car wash that also has vacuum cleaners and such to clean your car out in Winston Salem, N.C.?

Any self service car wash listed in the yellow pages will have a vacuum cleaner and stalls you pull into to spray the car with high pressure wands. Drive up and down the commercial streets and you'll run into many car wash types. Stop and get a cup of coffee while your at it.

Q:What is the development status of vacuum cleaners?

Since the late 1990s, sales of vacuum cleaners in China have risen at an annual rate of 38%

Q:Why are vacuums so loud?

Aww, did a vacuum wake you up, Frank? (Did you shoot it?). You'd think that since they can make silencers for smaller 'appliances', like hand guns, ; ) they'd have no problem making them for vacuum cleaners. Many of those industrial types can make an awful lot of noise, but you can get virtually silent ones for use in your homes, planes, yachts, limos etc. Have a servant or agent get a hold of one for you. 'Here's looking at you kid' Let's all do lunch!
